The role
What a geriatric nurse actually does, day to day.
As a registered mental health nurse, you work with people who have mental health problems like depression, anxiety or other conditions. You are trained to listen, understand and help people feel safe and supported. You help them understand what is happening to them and work with them on their path to feeling better.
You might work in a hospital, a clinic or in people's homes. You get to know your patients and build trust with them so they feel comfortable talking to you. You help them take their medication if they need it and watch for any side effects. You also run activities and talking sessions to help people learn new ways to cope. You work with doctors, counsellors and other staff to make sure each person gets the help they need.
